The NITRD Dashboard helps interested individuals better track funding trends and identify agencies with investments in technical areas of interest, which will enable entrepreneurs and grant seekers to better direct their efforts to engage the correct Federal agency.

NITRD Program Supplement to the President’s FY2019 Budget

The FY 2019 NITRD Supplement to the President’s Budget provides a summary of information technology (IT) research and development (R&D) activities planned by federal agencies and coordinated through NITRD in FY 2019, as required by law.

Program Component Areas

Agencies coordinate their NITRD research activities and plans in Program Component Areas (PCAs), which are the major subject areas under which related projects and activities carried out under the NITRD Program are grouped. Budgets for the PCAs are reported in the annual NITRD budget crosscut.

NITRD Coordination Areas

NITRD Program's member agencies coordinate their NITRD research activities and plans by Program Component Areas (PCAs). For each PCA, agency representatives meet in an Interagency Working Group to exchange information and collaborate on research plans and activities such as testbeds, workshops, and cooperative solicitations.

The NITRD Dashboard

This dashboard enables you to visualize investments reported in the federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program. This will help interested individuals analyze funding trends and identify agencies with investments in technical areas of interest.

NITRD Program Component Areas (PCAs)

NITRD budgets are reported in a set of Program Component Areas (PCAs), where the PCAs are major subject areas for federal IT R&D. PCAs are intended to facilitate budgetary comparisons from year to year in each area. However, the PCA set does evolve over time, reflecting changes in IT R&D activities at federal agencies and IT R&D priorities of the Administration. Data and charts presented by this dashboard reflect that PCA evolution. See the NITRD PCA Page for details on PCA changes over time.
